What is the name of your state? Alabama
I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping have simple answers.
My mom helps me files my taxes, she's a wiz, but there are a couple of things she's never dealt with. I am a freelance web designer, and I receive about 99% of my income online through paypal.
The first question is: Payments I receive from other countries are transferred to US dollars by paypal, and I pay a fee for that. But do I count those funds on my federal income taxes since they came from foreign employers? I've found an answer to this question for those that were in that country or lived in that country when they made the money, but I never left the US. I deal with these people through email.
The second question is: None of my income came from Alabama, the state where I live. Do I have to file state taxes for all the states where I received payments from, and do I claim that income on my Alabama state taxes? Again, I didn't go to these states to work, that's just the location of the employers.
